Chapter 255 The Fire of the Qing Dynasty

"You don't want this wheat? You are doing evil!"

"Why don't we wait until the wheat is harvested this year before leaving!"

"After the wheat is harvested, it's winter and we can't leave."

"Oh, who told us to lose? Let's just leave. It would be nice to have a way to survive."

Listen to the complaints in your ears.

Liu Laoba was squatting on the edge of the field, smoking a dry cigarette, and his face was a little gloomy.

As the first Laobailian sect to follow the Heavenly King Liu Zhixie to participate in the "revolution".

Liu Laoba owns a farm of more than 300 acres.

He also took a third concubine and gave birth to four second-generation male soldiers, all of whom were strong and strong. When they grow up, they will definitely be better than Liu Laoba in martial arts.

But now this farm has to be given up.

Because orders have been issued from above, all the soldiers of the government are required to bring their families, store food, and servants to Chang'an to gather. They will soon march westward to the Western Regions. After driving away the former Qing Governor of the Western Regions, Lebao, they will continue to go west, and they will go to Central Asia.

For home.

And Liu Laoba asked Shangguan about it when he was on duty a few days ago.

We had to move westward, and we couldn't delay it.

Because the Ming army general Luo Dingshan led two dragoon brigades and followed them all the way, and would not stop until they were driven to Central Asia.

Therefore, giving up this Zhuangzi is a last resort.

Watching the wives and concubines crying.

Liu Laoba was also very irritable and immediately scolded: "Why are you crying? The emperor has arranged a good place for us. That place is richer than Guanzhong!"

Wealth is rich, even if we are thousands of miles away, we don't know how many people will die along the way.

If only I could choose.

Of course Liu Laoba would choose Guanzhong.

Even if the land in Guanzhong is barren, it is at least close to the Central Plains.

We have gone to Central Asia, thousands of miles away, who knows what will happen in the future?

I heard that that place is surrounded by powerful enemies.

An accident.

There is no place to bury him.

But Liu Laoba also knew.

If he didn't go, there would be no place to bury him now.

He was also an old soldier who participated in the battle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Ming Army in the Central Plains.

They were already frightened by the strong fighting power of the Ming army.

Now we don't dare to turn around and fight the Ming army. We can only obey the orders of the Ming court and march westward.

In Guanzhong.

Things like what happened in Liu Laoba's farm have happened intensively everywhere in the past few days.

Now, under King Pingxi, there are only 12,000 soldiers left.

The total strength does not exceed 20,000.

Family members, slaves, and a total population of hundreds of thousands.

There are 30,000 soldiers in Lebao, and the total population of Manchus, Hanmen and Mongols is almost 500,000. If mobilized to the maximum extent, 50,000 to 60,000 strong men can be drawn out.

In terms of quantity, Pingxi Fan is not as good as Lebao.

But on the one hand, the old soldiers under Pingxi Fan are not too afraid of the troops under Lebao - they are the Eight Banners soldiers. They have defeated generals, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

On the other hand, Pingxi Fan also obtained a preferential loan from the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty and used the money to purchase a large amount of advanced ordnance.

These included 5,000 rifled guns and 10,000 well-made flintlock muskets.

This way.

The vassal army under King Pingxi completely eliminated all kinds of cold weapons that were still in use before. They made their own matchlocks and captured flintlock guns of varying quality and caliber from the Qing army.

Achieved complete "musketization".

In addition, one hundred lightweight two-inch caliber field guns and a large number of artillery shells were purchased as frontline support firepower.

With such weapons and equipment, 20,000 soldiers are enough to fight with 30,000 full clear evils under the preservation.

With the migration of more than 100,000 people.

Luo Dingshan also led two dragon cavalry brigades along the way to advance to the west of the hundreds of thousands of "heaven".

At the foot of Tianshan, the pillar of the border guards of the Daming Empire in the western border.

In addition, the court also organizes Tun Tian at the foot of Tian Shan, with Ili as the center, and completely turns into Han and land at the foot of the mountain at the foot of the mountain.

Western Province.

Yili City.

The terrain of the entire Western Regions can be summarized as two pots of Sanshan pinch.

From north to south, it is the Altai Mountains in the north, the middle of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Kunlun Mountain in the south.

Among them, the center of the Tarim Basin is the vast Karamay desert. The agricultural conditions are obviously not as good as the Junggar Basin between Tianshan and Altai Mountains in the north, from the mountains and mountains left from Tianshan and Altay, and the winding of several large rivers.

Become the most rich farming soil in Central Asia.

Yili is located in the northern foot of Tianshan, and is the core of the Qing court in the Western Regions Province.

Since the defeat of Jun Geel, the Qing court has established a large number of military tuning around Yili.

fifty thousand.

However, the fertile soil at the foot of Tianshan from Yili from the area of ​​Dihua, the cultivated land that can be reclaimed is definitely more than Guanzhong.

The population that can feed is far more than 200,000.

Even with the current food output.

The land that can be reclaimed in the northern part of the Western Provincial Province can definitely support the population of 10 million!

Now that the Western Regions are scarce, it is caused by the war that has been stretched for more than a hundred years.

And because here is at the crossroads where the forces of all parties meet.

Therefore, this excellent farming soil has not been opportunities for stable development.

"More than 100,000 people, 20,000 yuan soldiers"

In the Governor's Mansion of Lebao.

The short -sized and powerful Governor of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, was a bit dignified.

"Grandpa, but 20,000 soldiers, we just fight with Dihua!"

Zhang Yulong, who used to be the chief soldier of the Shaanxi -Greening Camp, said loudly that he would like to shout and kill.

Instead, several flag -man generals showed fear.

"Grandpa, can't fight with them in the Western Regions, even if they win the Pingxi Fan, in case the Ming Army has caused the Ming Army."

"Yes, yes, the savings are lost, and the people are all existed; if the land is lost, the people are lost. What we have to do now is not to desperate and avoid its edge!"

Everyone has made a sound to prevent the idea of ​​warning to fight against the fight against Daming Pingxi.

In fact, they are not afraid of calming the vassal, but they are afraid of the big tiger behind Pingxi Fan.

"Report! Governor, British envoy Wood, begged!"

Lebun looked at the generals and said, "Zhang Yulong, Zhang Shenhe stayed, others left for a while, and then asked Mr. Wood to come in."

Zhang Yulong was a general that was promoted by the Governor of Ganshan. Now he follows him all the way to the Western Regions.

And Zhang Shenhe is the Jinshi of the forty years of Qianlong.

Officials to Zhifu, Ganzhou Prefecture, Gansu.

Also old with Lebao.

Now it is a counselor around Lebao.

Both of them are Han people, but now they have become the left and right arm in Lebao's hands. In addition, Lebao also compiled the Han people in the Western Regions into the Eight Banners -although the Laoba Banner is gone, as long as someone, the Eight Banner Reconstruction is not difficult.

This eight flag system was originally a system of looting and division of the unified army.
